    Summary

    He blinks, and something shifts again, and—

    He still cannot put his finger on exactly what. But she slinks around the coffee table and takes Teia’s wine glass from her fingers—unabashed, audacious, unbowed—and drains the last mouthful for herself. And she looks up at her Guildmaster, almost submissive, almost penitent, if not for the smirk that pulls at her lips like a spark.

    “Well? Can I do it?”

    Teia rolls her eyes and flicks at her Crow’s ear. And, over her shoulder,

    Years before the Dread Wolf aims to take down the Veil, Teia recruits a thief (an elf, a mage, a spark) from the gutters of Salle—and gets exactly what she bargained for.

    (Or: no one has told the Crows of House Cantori that they are not the exception to every rule.)
